Pacemaker Removal Surgery

In this procedure, the provider performs a thoracotomy, to open the chest wall and remove the pacemaker system along with the two electrode leads from the heart surface. The provider also removes the subcutaneous pacemaker generator, just under the skin in the chest wall. A pacemaker system includes a pacemaker generator, a small battery powered computer like device and lead wires that connect the heart muscle to the pacemaker generator.
